version of Top Gear. Adam Podcast is a big hit and available everywhere. Sounds like it could be funny.

0:30.7

Sounds to me like 30 minutes you'll never get back. It's showtime, and we have another great show for you this week.

0:47.3

You know, I say that every week because it's true.

0:50.7

And this week is no exception.

0:53.0

We have a comedy legend in the ADD interview. He was the first

0:56.9

one ever to do an HBO special. He's been nominated for two Grammys. He's been nominated for two

1:02.4

Emmys. He's been nominated for a Tony. And he's my pal. He is Robert Klein. And we want to welcome

1:09.9

everyone from our talk to me. Tuesday family. That's our conversation we have every week. 9 o'clock Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific. Go to my website, click the link, and join our conversation. And our superfan shoutout is for Barry Burris. Say hi to Barry, everybody. Okay, Barry, it's just me and you. I will explain what happened. I was at the Nantucket Comedy Festival, and we had

1:28.4

trouble getting off the island. It's actually, uh, if there's any kind of a cloud cover, because they

fly you in those little like buddy Holly planes, you know, those little, nine-seaters. So I was late. We were

1:52.6

tell you what happened. I'm at Logan and I got to get on one of those little planes. And they have to

1:55.6

ask you your weight. So they asked the lady in front of me her weight. And she says,

2:00.2

109. Look, we all have

2:02.7

goals. Certainly there's things about me I'd like to change. And hopefully one day, we'll all get

2:08.3

what we want. But the guy didn't ask the lady aspirational weight. And I don't want to fat shame

2:12.9

anybody, but there's a safety concern. So she said 109, and I just did a quick assessment, and I just added 60 pounds to my weight. So hopefully it evens out. So then we actually get on the plane, right? And we're taxing. We're on the runway. There's nine of us on this little plane. It's like being inside a water heater. And the pilot, 12 years old, a 12 year old pilot. He turns around. He's like,
